Quote:On a side note, Top fuel is not Ethanol (corn) it's Methanol (Alcohol).


Actually, Top Fuel is Nitromethane (92%(?) this year) and Methanol.

But on the Ethanol thing, we've had that crap gas here in CA for a long time now (EPA b.s.) and besides the corrosiveness, it's been causing a lot of deposits(all makes) to the point of needing to do a carbon flush. I think it's the 993 owners who were having a lot of problems as it would cause a CE light and carbon flushes and new o2 sensors weren't fixing it so valve jobs were the only cure.
